Design Awards Hall of Fame: Cormack Construction Management & Samyn-D’Elia Architects

Set against the tranquil backdrop of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, this 6,600 square foot custom residence blends refined craftsmanship with a deep connection to its surroundings. Designed by Samyn-D’Elia Architects and built by Cormack Construction Management, the home reimagines the classic lake house with a modern, detail driven approach that honors both tradition and landscape.

A Douglas Fir TimberPeg frame anchors the structure, bringing warmth and character throughout. High performance structural insulated panels and an insulated concrete foundation provide efficiency and durability, while a sweeping roofline and custom sapele wood and glass entry create a striking arrival. The exterior pairs Brava composite cedar shake siding with standing seam copper roofing, reinforcing a sense of timelessness. Thoughtful site design, including native landscaping, stone walkways, a private beach, and dock, create a seamless connection to the water.

Inside, carefully curated spaces reflect an exceptional level of craftsmanship. In partnership with interior designer Carol Carani of Stone Bay Company, extensive detailing allowed for fully custom interiors produced by Cormack’s in-house woodshop. Dual kitchens, custom cabinetry, and built-ins throughout the home are executed with precision and purpose.

The great room features a dramatic floor to ceiling window wall and a grand stone fireplace with a reclaimed timber mantel. Additional highlights include a three-season porch, cantilevered deck with outdoor kitchen, built in bunk beds, and a hidden children’s nook.

Thoughtfully designed at every level, this home is a true expression of collaboration, craftsmanship, and lakeside living.
